1 Claim. `1 This invention relates to a coin bank. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coin bank wherein nickels, vdimes and quarters can be'inserted into the same opening in the bank shell and will register automatically the exact amount which has been inserted, and wherein, ywhen the bank has been filled with coins amounting to ten dollars, the pull down 'cover can be opened to dispense the contents of the bank.y l

` Other objects ofthe present invention are to provide a coin bank of thiS type which is of sinrple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum of parts, compact, easy to operate, and efhcient in operation.

For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken vin connection withthe accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a coin bankr embodying the features of the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectionalview taken vOnline 2 2 of Fig. l. v

' Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken online y3---3 of Fig. '2.

Fig. 4' is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig.' 5 is a perspective View of the coin receiving and sliding member and of the registering discs.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view of the coin support with a nickel in place and with portions broken away to show certain Fig. '7 is a fragmentary view similar to Fig. 6 with the slide pulled over to carry the coin in such a manner as to move the fingers into engagement with the star wheel.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the member having the fingers for engaging the star wheel.

Fig. 9 is a fragmentary plan view showing the extent to which the finger member is moved when a dime is inserted andwith the linger which is used for engaging the star wheel when the dime is used being extended over the star wheel.

open ends and closing offthe rear part of the registering `discs 36 and 31.

front casing member i5 is a rear casing i1. The frontcasing has a top horizontal portion I8v with a segmental shaped opening I9 therein and with an elongated slot 2| through which an operating handle 22 may slide. In the lower part of the front casing I5 lis akdoor 23 whichhas a handle 2d and which can be pulled down only after a predetermined account of ten dollars has been placed inthe bank. y This door opening has an inwardly bent flange 25 with openings 25 therein for receiving upstandingV projections 21. lThe door alsohas a projection 28 to which a tension spring 29 is connected. The opposite end of the tension spring is connected to a struck-up lug 3i on the bottom portion I6, Fig. 2'.

The ends of the door 23 are providedwith inwardly extending hook formations 32 and 33 of different sizes which may register respectively with slots 34 vand 35 ofv the respective number These dises 36 and 31 are carried'- upon an inner frame 39 thatvis of inverted l shape and which is connected by a tab 4I to the bottom portion Illand by tabs 42 which pass through the top portion I5 whereby to hold the frame 39 in place.

The large disc 36 is pivotally connected upon the frame member 39 by bolt means 43. A ratchet or star wheel 44 is connected to the disc 35 having teeth projections 45 adapted to be engaged by finger projections 41, 48 or 49 of a nger member 59. The finger member 59 is secured to a slide 5l to which the handle or operating member 22 is connected. Frame 39 has a horizontal portion 52 which carries the slide 5 i and this portion 52 has an opening 53 through which the inger member 50 downwardly projects. `The nger member 50 is connected to the slide 5l so that it can be bent or angled toward the star wheel i4 when a coin resting on the horizontal portion 52 is drawn into engagement witha guide 54 carried by the horizontal portion 52 and made secure therewith by bolt means 55. A tension spring 56 is connected between the Vslide 5I at 51 thereon and a hook projection 58 of the horizontal portion 52. The slide 5I has a depending flange 59 for engaging the coin in order'to force the same over the guide 54.

As shown in Fig. 6, a nickel is placed in the opening I9 and rests upon the horizontal portion 5i. VThis nickel will engage the guide 54 so that the finger member 59 is bent inwardly to cause the engagement of the finger projection 41 with the star wheel 44 so as to step the star wheel a single notch and to give a ve cent registration in openings 6| and 62 in the front casing I5. If a dime is placed therein, as shown in Fig. 9, projection 48 will engage the star wheel in a position so as to adjust the star Wheel two steps as the slide 5I is moved. If twenty ve cents is inserted, the finger arm 50 will be projected in such a manner as to cause both lingers 41 and 49 to engage the teeth projection 45 in succession so that the disc v36 is moved through 1ive steps. Aspring 63 engages with the teeth projections 45 so as to hold the disc against rearward rotation. The disc 36 has a projection 64 that engages, upon each revolution of the disc 36, a projection 65 which will rotate disc `31 one tenth of a turn to give a dollar indication-in-` opening 66 of the front casing l0. A spring 61 carried by the frame 39 engages with .theprojections 65 to hold the disc 31 against return rotative movement. When the disc 36 has made ten revolutions. the disc; 31 will have made one revolution Aand vthe slots 34 and 3 5 ofthe respective discs will be so aligned vthat the projections 32 and 33'ofthe door 23:can pass through the discs to allow the door 23 to be dropped and the 4contents of the ban-k poured outwardly thereof. 'The horizontal portion 5I of the frame has an `opening 68 through 4which the coin can be passed and deposited on the bottom of the casing member l5. The disc 31 is-pivotally-connectedto the frame 39 by pivot bolt means f10.

It should-now be apparent that there has been provided a coin bank which willreceive diierent denominations of coins through the same openings and when the operating member is moved, the exact amount will be registered.

While variouschanges may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be Within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claim.
